In the game, Spot It!, each of the 55 cards have eight pictures and any two cards have exactly one picture in common. It may be easy to spot the similarity between two given cards, but how easily is this game created? In the April 2015 edition of Math Horizons, Burkard Polster wrote "The Intersection Game" to address that question. This talk will present how to build Spot It! decks and vaiations using point-line geometry, projective planes, t- (v,k,λ) designs.
